Aluminum tariff guide for importers: Chapter 76 classification, Section 232 scope, derivative articles, exclusions, quotas, and landed-cost planning.
Aluminum imports can require base HTS review, Section 232 scope review, derivative-article checks, origin review, exclusions or quota treatment, and AD/CVD screening. Do not apply a single aluminum rate without matching the exact product and source.
Aluminum and articles of aluminum, with finished goods sometimes elsewhere.
Scope can include derivative articles and country-specific treatment.
Keep exclusions, quota notes, and Chapter 99 references with the estimate.
Billets, profiles, foil, containers, hardware, and finished goods can classify differently. A product made partly from aluminum may not be a Chapter 76 product at all.
Verify HTS classification, material composition, origin, Section 232 coverage, derivative-article scope, exclusions, quota treatment, AD/CVD, and Chapter 99 filing instructions.
Enter base duty first, add any Section 232 assumption as a separate layer, and preserve official source URLs so the broker can review or correct the model.
Planning-only notice: TariffsChart is not a customs broker, law firm, tax advisor, or government authority. Verify classifications, rates, effective dates, exclusions, and filing instructions with official sources and qualified professionals.
Aluminum and articles of aluminum are generally in Chapter 76, but finished products may classify elsewhere.
No. Applicability depends on product scope, origin, exclusions, quotas, and official implementation guidance.
They are separate review questions and both can matter. Confirm with official sources and a broker.
